Don't buy this IPAQ. The screen breaks for no reason [Posted on 2004-07-28]
Look at all the reviews here. You'll find out that a large precentage of them is saying "good product, until the screen cracked for no reason". Same here. One day I found the screen bleeding from the top left corner. This was about 4 months after I got it (90 days warranty, thank you very much). This IPAQ was hardly even used.
Save yourself. Don't buy this product. Get a Palm (had one for 3 years before this Ipaq, never had an issue with it).
screen cracks [Posted on 2005-02-22]
I was given this as a Christmas gift Dec 2003. About 4 or 5 months later, I pulled it out of the case to use it one day & the screen was cracked (about an inch above the bottom). It was not dropped; it was kept in the case because I did not use it on a daily basis. I took it to a Best Buy store since it was purchased through them. The tech said he had never seen a crack like it & that it was not an intentional crack (I believe he said it was not a "tension" crack). However, they will not cover the damage. Best Buys says it is HP's problem. HP says it is Best Buy's problem. So--I am stuck with a $300 piece of junk that no one will replace. Oh, HP will replace the screen for $200. It's probably not even worth that anymore. The sad thing is, my husband even purchased the service plan for it, but it does not cover screens---IMAGINE THAT!!!!
BB did send it off to "check it out" & it is in worse condition than when I took it in. I could at least view my contacts & other programs. I could even use the keyboard (above the crack). The problem was only below the crack. When I used the stylus on the keyboard, it would not type the letter I was touching. Now I can't sync the info stored on it to my computer or do anything but turn it on. No one seems to care--good customer service, huh?
I've been using mine for a couple of years now [Posted on 2005-04-14]
No problems with it. I've dropped it several times, with and without its case on, and nothing has broken. I use it every day, and didn't use a screen protector for about 8 months.
It's not the best ipaq on the market but it looks and feels great. I guess if I wanted to play action games on my PDA I might prefer a more potent model, but it covers all my necessities, which are to write (using TextMaker), read eBooks, store information and photographs, and play music and movies. I certainly don't feel the need to upgrade because I have yet to find Pocket PC software it can't deal with.
Until Microsoft or life's accidents force me to, I will not buy a more powerful model.
But I do wonder what on earth people do to theirs to break them. No PDA review sites or articles refer to unusually weak screens on this model, and reports of cracked ones are almost exclusively found at Amazon.
I've also had mine for about 2 years... [Posted on 2005-05-18]
I have had very few problems with my 1935. It needs the occasional soft reset, but that may be attributed to the PIM and Today plug-in I downloaded. The screen on mine has stayed in great shape, and I let my 4 year old "draw" in the notes area!! (And, yes, she has dropped it without the screen shattering!) Would recommend to anyone who needs a great organizer without wireless capability.
Cheap, easy... Multi-purpose wonder [Posted on 2005-06-25]
This PDA is great. The small size allows it to fit in my pocket where I can play music off a storage card while I am biking. The processor is adequate enough for relatively intense games. The battery life is pretty long, I can listen to music for hours (beware of backlight, though.) It has everything you'll need: all apps in pocket windows (also Resco Explorer), recorder, speaker, bright screen, infrared... It doesn't have wireless or bluetooth though. The only annoyances are an audio jack that does not comply with the standard audio plug, you have to carry a mini-converter. Also the charger is inconvenient; there's no dock, and it doesn't fit well into the PDA.
Overall, for a casual PDA, this is the one!
